New leak suggests the Galaxy Note 20 will feature Google Nearby Sharing

TL;DR Unlike the S20, it doesn’t look the Note 20 Ultra features a 100x zoom. It appears Samsung has added support 21:9 video capture. It looks like the phone includes Google’s upcoming Nearby Sharing feature. We’re about two-and-a-half weeks out from Samsung announcing the Galaxy Note 20 on August 5, but the leaks continue to come. Following his earlier hands-on, YouTuber Jimmy is Promo has shared a new video detailing some of the Note 20 Ultra’s camera app settings and other features.

Want to excel at Excel? Become VBA literate

I have a soft spot for Microsoft Excel. There’s just something extremely pleasing about a working set of calculations, or even a cheeky vlookup. The thing is, knowing how to change the number of decimal places and putting together a good color scheme can only get you so far. If you want to really harness the power of Excel, you need to know your onions when it comes to VBA.

iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 discounted by $49.01 in Apple stores – what does it mean for Android?

In case you didn’t hear, Sprint has recently decided to lower the price of the 16GB iPhone 4S model to $149.99, which is 49.01 lower than its regular price, while also waiving the activation fee. The carrier is apparently doing this as an attempt to try to move as much iPhone stock as possible in anticipation of the upcoming sixth-generation iPhone. While that’s certainly not a surprising move for a carrier, or for third party retailers – Best Buy and Radio Shack also have discounted offers on iPhone models – it’s certainly worth pointing out that some actual Apple retail stores are ready to match the discounts available from these third-party retailers on a case-by-case basis.

Is the Google Fitbit deal the end of Wear OS?

In the middle of January, Google and Fitbit formally confirmed the former’s acquisition of the latter. There’s still some debate about whether or not the United States Department of Justice is going to quash the deal. For now, anyway, it appears the union is moving forward. Regardless of how you feel about the merger, it’s clearly good news for Fitbit. Although Fitbit is basically a household name, it actually has a mediocre market share in the wearables industry.
